Several high profile tipsters have recently revealed that Samsung might not introduce the Galaxy Note 21 later this year. Ice Universe said there's no information about the development of the Note 21 so far which is very unusual. Max listed all the Samsung flagships that are expected in 2021.
However, there is no mention of the Note 21and the Note 21 Ultra. Samsung bringing the S Pen to the S21 Ultra and to the Z Fold 3 made people believe that the Note 21 isn't happening this year.But turns out, like every year in the past few years these rumors ended up as just being rumors. We have a fresh new report straight out of South Korea mentioning that Galaxy Note 21 is indeed happening but with a slight catch.
ETNews, a big south Korean publication says that Samsung will launch a Galaxy Note next year but there will be only one Note model. For the past couple of years Samsung has been launching two Note variants at the same time, a full-fledged top-of-the-line Note and another a stripped-down version of it. But next year that won't be the case.
Etnews reports that Samsung is trying to reduce the market share of the Galaxy Note and move it to the Galaxy Z Fold lineup which has a big growth potential according to an official in the smartphone industry. The report said, by introducing the S Pen to the Galaxy S lineup, Samsung will attract some Note fans to the Galaxy S series in the first half of the year, and attract some more to the foldable lineup by including the S Pen to the Z Fold 3, and then eventually Samsung will merge the Note lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup. That's the plan right now according to insiders.
So that means the Galaxy Note lives for another year, we will see the Galaxy Note 21 Ultra in the second half of the year but there's no guarantee there will a Note from 2022 onwards. With that being said, the Galaxy S21 lineup will come with a plethora of new colors, and if you remember I mentioned that the frame and the back of the phone will be made of two different colors.
Today we have some third party renders of the Galaxy S21 models to depict how it's going to look in real life. Remember these are not official but should give you a good idea of what to expect in terms of color options. First off these are the color options for the S21 lineup.
Max said the phantom white will have a subtle blue tint with bronze bezels and this is a good representation of that. The black variant will have a black frame while the Phantom Violet and Phantom Pink colorways have a copper body. Only the S21 Plus and S21 Ultra have a glass back while the S21 will feature a plastic body.
Also, only the S21 Ultra will feature a curved display whereas the S21 and S21 Plus will have a flat display. The Unpacked event is scheduled to take place on January the 14th and it will be available in retail stores two weeks later on January the 29th.
Of course with that being said, do let me know what do you think about this down in the comments and as always I'll see you tomorrow...
Peace out!
